“The problem is I’m older now, I’m 40 years old, and this stuff doesn’t change the world. It really doesn’t.

“I’m sorry, it’s true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We’re born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It’s been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much — if at all.

“These technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.“But it’s a disservice to constantly put things in this radical new light — that it’s going to change everything. Things don’t have to change the world to be important.”

damn.

aaaand... hacker news is down.

apple have confirmed. the world has lost a real visionary. RIP :(

fffuuuuuuu

WHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????

too bad. can't say it will really affect me though.

Fucking hell, 56 is no age

this is really sad

yeah, come on 56??? why?

cancer, obviously.

apparently he was sick.

it's kind of horrible that a man with such capital (both monetary and social) couldn't beat the disease in 2011..

Pancreatic cancer is a bitch even by cancer standards. I'm half shocked he made it this far, but also half shocked (because it's Steve!) that he went so soon after the CEO succession.

I really, really wish more CEOs were as passionate and invested in their companies, and in shaping technology.

people die

conspiracy theories are a brewing...

and when clever, creative people die young, it's sad.

Saw this and came to watmm to post if it wasn't here. Of course it already was you lifeless cunts...

RP Steve Jobs.

If you watched the iPhone 4S keynote yesterday, they showed this shot for about 5 seconds right at the beginning.

Yeah they kept cutting back to it too.

I wonder if it had happened by then, and i wonder if Cook knew.

I'd reckon that Cook knew that Steve was well on his way out.

millions of apple fanboys on facebook right now wondering whether to "like" or not to "like".

anyway, sad news.

sad. he was a visionary. r.i.p.
